I learned the rules - I had to."</i></b></p><p>Riveting and fast paced, <i> In the Land of Blue Burqas</i> depicts sharing the love and truth of Christ with women living in Afghanistan, which has been called "the world's most dangerous country in which to be born a woman." </p><p>These stories are honest and true. The harsh reality of their lives is not sugar-coated, and that adds to the impact of this book. Through storytelling, the author shows how people who don't know Christ come to see Him, His truth, and His beauty. The stories provide insight into how a Jesus-follower brought Jesus' teachings of the Kingdom of God to Afghanistan. They reveal the splendor of Christ, the desire of human hearts, and that precious instance where the two meet.<br/><br/><i>All of the names of</i><i>those involved</i>--<i>including Kate's</i>--<i>plus the locations have been changed to protect the participants.</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>"I lived in Afghanistan for five years. I learned the rules - I had to."</i></b></p><p>The gray-bearded and black-bearded men in the back of the rickshaw eyed me. The gray-bearded man asked me, "Are you a Muslim?"</p><p> For him, the word <i>Muslim</i> had a very clear definition. He did not just mean, "Are you submitted to God?" To which I could have said, "Yes, of course." He meant something much more precise: "Do you submit to the laws of the Prophet Muhammad as recorded in the Holy Quran and Hadith and as taught by the mullahs?" Whatever true response I could give would not be welcome.</p><p>Still, I could give a true response. I answered the gray-beaded man's question softly without arrogance or apology. "No, I am not a Muslim. I am a follower of the Honorable Jesus Messiah." </p><p>The black-bearded man scowled, brows furrowed. He leaned too close to my face and glared directly into my averted eyes. His words came out as a command, short and abrupt: "You should become a Muslim. It would be better for you in this life and the next."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The true and riveting story of a woman who spends five years in Afghan villages talking to the natives about her faith in Jesus, while being pressured to convert to Islam. The writing is powerful, the narrative is intriguing, and the author compellingly lifts up Jesus at every turn. An excellent introduction into the Muslim world and the mindset that marks it. Inspiring and educational."</p><p><b><i>-Outreach Magazine, March/April 2013</i></b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>KATE MCCORD</b> worked in Afghanistan for nine years after the fall of the Taliban.
